Silver vanadium oxide (SVO, Ag2V4O11) has demonstrated commercial success as a solid-state cathode material in lithium power sources for demanding applications, including implantable biomedical devices. This report describes the synthesis of SVO via a hydrothermal method. The resulting nano-sized high surface area Ag2V4O11 was investigated as a cathode material for primary lithium batteries for very high rate applications.
